Setting up a 6' x 3' x 30" tank. Tank will have driftwood scattered around and some rocks. The following are what we have in a 40g breeder and will all go in.

5 Geo Altifrons (Juvies)
8 Bolivian Rams (adults)
6 Angelfish (silver dollar sized)
1 Golden Nugget Pleco

I like to add some top level swimming fish. Jardinis are really cool but I guess not very friendly.

Group of 30 - 40 tetras.

Small-sized catfish? I have seem these in public aquariums but don't know the name.

Thinking about Uaru but maybe not enough room after the Geos are full grown? How many if I do get them?

Suggest for some nice Cories.

Looking for suggestions. Oddballs and crazy ideas :)
 
I love it just the way you have it... althoug, the tetras and corys might make a really nice touch.. great stock list and good tank size. Be sure to post pics.

I am moving them in right now. Only moved a few angelfish to test the water. The tank looks very empty :)
 
I agree with Dial92. You could try some Rainbowfish perhaps if you don't mind adding something not SA. They're extremely active top/mid level swimmers and not too aggressive to other species. They CAN be really mean to each other sometimes though. Mine get along just fine with each other and my CA.
 
When the angels and geos grow up, it will look pretty full. It all about patiance. I wouldent add any non SA to the tank.. but I'm a nazi about that. Good luck, and send pics.

I don't want to add any non SA either. Want to maintain the "look". What kind of tetras and cories do you recommend?

What you think about a few piles?
